I have continued to look at music videos that i like, but i have also started to look at other things that could be inspiration for a music video.
I love this video because it has been very cleverly thought out. The video throughtout is basically looking at Jacksons image given to him from the press and the things they claim he has done/was doing. I really like the way at the start, he is shown in the images in, for example, the newspapers or the money. I also like the somewhat bizzare part a little way in where you hear a repetitivate clapping sound, whih is revealed to be a large set of teeth snapping shut in time with the music. I also like the video because it is just so different and weird compared to most music videos. It is unlike any other video i can think of.
I like this music video because of it's simplicity. The band didn't tell anybody they were making a video as they thought it would be funnier if only they knew about it until it was released. All they did was buy 8 treadmills and record the video in one single continuous take. It took 17 attempts to get the video right and the official one has had almost 50 million views on YouTube. The reason i like this video is because it shows you don't really have to DO anything in a music video, you just need to be original. It is also a good video because as it got so popular, you can't copy it or do anything similar to it to even close to the same level of popularity because people will think it has been copied.
I like this video because it shows you many of the ways that music videos can be shot in studios, depsite it seeming as if it has been shot, for example in an aeroplane or a forest. I also think it is clever how it shows you how they can edit the people faces as they are filming to make them look different or 'better'
